About Grégoire

🎯 YOUR CONTEXT, MY PLAYING FIELD

Fast closing for 40 entities in a post-LBO context, harmonization of group processes, management of intercompany accounts and consolidated reporting.

▸ TURNAROUND & SPECIAL SITUATIONS
Cash Converters France (takeover from judicial liquidation): +40% revenue in 12 months, return to profitability in 15 months.

▸ SCALE-UP & STRUCTURING FROM SCRATCH
Convelio: finance function built from scratch, from €1M to €30M revenue — Series A €10M, Series B €30M, ERP NetSuite deployment France / UK / US.

🔑 WHAT SETS ME APART

A rare combination: operational financial management + ~40 transaction services operations (fundraising, due diligence) + business recovery experience.
